Based on what's out there, it appears to be a more of a lifestyle (so it is a total diet thing) than a specific cuppa that morning. And since your...

Hard to say. The majority of this was going down starting about a year ago, right as all of the gyms were locked down. So it was 8-9 months of...

Truer words can't be spoken. In my case, I've had to build a comprehensive spreadsheet tracking all of my blood work values over the years,...

This is just preparing you for much greater piles of stupid bullshit that you'll have to endure, all in exchange for that "free" college degree. And...

Yep. That seems to be the case with so many of the tests that are used as definitive decision points for pushing pills.

Fair enough. I ordered mine right after the COVID lockdowns and it took a few months to get them delivered. Well worth the wait, but I could see...

My new doc said the same thing, then panicked when my numbers were similar to yours (on one blood draw out of many, well outside my standard...

Rip — I know that you had been working with White's Boots here in Spokane about weightlifting shoes. Another option here is Nicks Boots. Nick learned...

I like popping by to see what you're working out to. This is the first time I've felt compelled to comment, since you were listening to Judas...

This. I've also found that attitude changes things a lot. If you leave hand prints on the rack , wipe them down yourself when you are done. If you...

Just to add another option, check the clearance racks at outdoor stores for climbing chalk. Most of it is 100% Magnesium Carbonate. I stumbled...

I feel personally attacked.

Good to see/hear that you are making progress!

Absolutely. I'm not someone who runs to the doc with every little pain or discomfort, but your experience, especially during These Trying Times™, is...

Go back and read his whole log here (it's only 3 pages worth), including watching the videos. You'll find the answers to your questions here, plus...

Well that's a mixed bag of news, Kaisheem. Hopefully that nebulizer is providing a bit of relief. Similarly, my wife discovered at 38 that she has...

You won't sell it to Mark.

Skypig - Just in case you haven't run across Grant's video on warmups and percentages, it's here. If you stick to straight percentages, each...

Skypig - Good to see. You highlighted the two things that stuck out to me as I re-read that section (thanks for the question, BTW). I took the...

Re-read the Warm-Up section of SSBBT, pp 297-300. It's pretty clear there.

Perfectly. Thanks. It was the empty bar, purposefully put down on the safeties to verify clearance. Not that anything changes between bench height...

I pulled this article up right after my first bench work set. I'm not even close to benching a PR or "shaky weight", but for some reason today,...

Great timing, as I was about to step out into the garage for my squat work sets. But not before buckling into my Dominion belt. The belt is well...

I'm pretty sure that no one knows the answers to those questions. You could keep taking them, but when do you stop? When you get a positive that you...

Ideally, the most you can do under 5lbs (4.5, then 3.0, then 2.5, then 2.0, etc), although 2.5 sure makes it easier on the brain in the middle of a...

Thanks for covering the red light reasoning and why it should have been three. Makes sense. Regardless of technicalities, that was one impressive...
